I think it cost less than $200. I’ll have to see if I can find the name of the company. They were actually a commercial tool & equipment company that used their own trucks to get supplies to their stores. If they had spare room on the truck, it went in. If not, it waited for a truck with room. It was store to store shipping. </div><div><br></div><div>Peace, Pat</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Pat Horne <div>We support Habitat for Humanity</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Sep 4, 2025, at 6:50 AM, Tim . <tims_datsun_stuff@outlook.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr">

The shipper I tried said I need a business license to avoid a cost of three times what it would be otherwise. (this is BS)</div>

So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid expensive.</div>

Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get desperate. </div>
